Paragraph Builder is a feature that allows you to convert select Industry Report section analyses from list-style to paragraphs.

This feature is our first use of Generative AI technology to produce the content that lives in our reports. Paragraph Builder uses a large language model (LLM) to ingest our analyst-written list-style analysis and generate a natural language paragraph-style version of our written analysis.

Paragraph Builder uses a third-party Azure OpenAI Service and the input from our proprietary data and analysis to reformat the list-style analysis into paragraphs. Because OpenAI’s models have been trained using other sources, occasionally, the model will add additional information to our analysis, usually adding information that is considered common sense.

We created and tested multiple versions of Paragraph Builder to improve its accuracy and reduce instances of the generated output misrepresenting the analyst’s intent (E.g., Insinuating a cause-and-effect relationship where none exists). However, as this content is generated by artificial intelligence, it may not be flawless or wholly representative of human analysis. Therefore, the Paragraph Builder analysis should be used as a preliminary reference rather than a conclusive assessment.

We are committed to the continuous improvement of the Paragraph Builder model. We have implemented a process for quality assurance that will include human review of the paragraph analysis output but cannot guarantee that every Paragraph Builder analysis has been reviewed by an employee.

Paragraph Builder was created for users whose workflow was affected by our change from paragraph analyses to list-style analyses as part of our Modern Research Experience. This feature allows these users to convert analyses into their preferred format to use in their own materials.

Paragraph Builder is available for Current Performance, Industry Outlook, Products and Services, Major Markets, International Trade, Business Locations and Cost Structure.
